Tether stable currency
This currency as its name indicates is a currency that is abbreviated (usdT) each Usdt coin has a value to 1usd US Dollar (fiat currency) its creation was to protect both the investor and the trader from the great volatility of digital currencies such as the btc that its value can rise or fall dramatically.
The most important features of Tether are:
✔The currency is stable and remains at a value very close to $1 which keeps the currency stable.
✔The coin is very reliable and uses omni layer technology. This protocol uses blockchain to store data in the bitcoin network.
✔How to buy Tether (usdT)
✔ Tether can be traded with various exchanges such as: Poloniex, binanse, bittrex, Huobi, etc. These exchanges do not accept fiat currencies, however they accept this stable USDT currency as a stable medium of exchange.
✘The only negative problem I see is that I feel a stable and very popular currency cannot be mined as it is fully pegged to the US fiat dollar.
✘If you want to exchange usdT to fiat currency you need to perform a KYC verification which must be approved.

Feedback
This is good work. Well done with your research. Well explained in a simple and clear way.
That's true, a trader does not need to go along way by cashing out his funds during the bad times in the Crypto market then re-deposit it again in the banks so that he buys crypto coins again to take advantage of the speculated bull run. That would mean plenty of costs but with Tether stable coin, it eases the easy transfer of crypto funds at very minimal trading costs.
